christmas angel (CFC, PC, SSS)

I used to give neighbors a mix of my homemade Christmas cookies every year. A few years ago I started making a craft project every other year. Here is a fantastic idea if you want to optimize "the bang for your buck" for homemade home decor gifts. IMHO.

The idea was in a German magazine, "Landeslust". Basically you cover a styrofoam ball for the head and a cardboard form for the wings with "Gipsbinden", and use a long nail for the head and two short nails to attach the wings to the wood. A walk in the wilderness supplies materials for the halos. Here is a photo of the rest of the group.

I created a "heavenly" tag bearing our Christmas wishes - the Hero Arts cloud background and a heat embossed sentiment. CAS. I'm entering these lovely ladies in the Paper Crafts December gallery as well as the tag challenge #80 at CASual Fridays.
